Not too many of these old chain balers left. This is just a quick video showing me baling a few bales with it. There will be more videos in the future.

one sure doesn't see many of those classics in use anymore, I can remember a decade or two ago that one could still see them on a dealer lot now its maybe at the odd auction. Thanks for sharing

Not a lot of them left that are still running. That’s for sure. Still see a couple 851’s every now and then.

Had same baler except we had the hand crank for feeding the twine. Great baler.

For doing just a few bales at a time, I would think that would be OK. Simple and you don't have to reply on any electronics to work. But if you were baling more than 20-30 rolls, I would think that would get old, FAST!

@@michaelhawkins2882 Well, back in 1980 or whenever it was, I guess we didn't know any better😁. We owned a dairy farm and I bet my dad and I baled couple 300 bales a year or more. I also did a little custom work also.

We had two of the 850’s. They would bale up anything. Called to a field once that 3 belt balers couldn’t get cores started. We baled the field and bales up the cores the other balers had to kick out.

I have never had an issue with it starting a core or feeding. Definitely something I miss since switching to the Deere.

@michaelhawkins Do your pick ups ever stop randomly? Mine do and with just a little clean they start back, but no obvious jam . I have 851.

No, mine does not. I believe the set-up is the same on the 850 and 851, there is a slip clutch on the sprocket for the pickup. Just tighten the bolts up a few turns.

How do you know when the bale is finished being tied?
@michaelhawkins28826 ай бұрын
On this baler, everything is manually controlled for tying. So it's done when I tell it to be done! You kind of develop your own style to tie. When you bring the arm all the way home, there is a knife that cuts the twine.
